A former classmate just lost her mom to covid. A colleague just lost her dad to covid. My 90 year old great aunt is on a ventillator & close to death due to covid. and yes, we are all black. If white folks sit back & allow businesses to open up again, I will never forgive y'all.
If there is anytime to be an ally, then now is the time. People know black and brown bodies make up the bulk of essential workers. They know we have conditions which make us heavily predisposed to dying from covid. They also know we have no choice when it comes to being forced to
go to work because we don't have the privilege to quit and look for another job due to monetary and systemic reasons. This is a literal war on black and brown bodies, I'm seeing people, who yes are mostly black, post everyday about family members and friends who have passed
away from this disease. I'm telling y'all right now, I will NOT be cannon fodder for this country, nor will I allow anyone that I love to be cannon fodder. Get your shit together and confront your fucking cousins about thinking it's ok to build their economy on our dead bodies
Because this is a line that I am NOT willing to let this country overstep.
